If you meant dealextreme, they have got cool gadgets. I will think twice before placing any order though - because of customs. Large sized packages may attract their attention. I had bought DRLs for my car from their site. It was a good quality product and still works fine after almost an year unlike the local LED stuff. Customs had blocked it for several weeks and I had to go there with the invoice and payment details to get it released.

You can always re-lock the bootloader in nexus devices very easily. It is just a command from fastboot - "fastboot oem (un)lock" - to lock and unlock.

The reason why it is recommended to unlock it before you configure your device is that unlocking *may* erase all userdata. So when the tab is new, you don't have any userdata and don't have to worry about losing anything at all. When I unlocked my Galaxy Nexus after using it for a month, luckily it didn't wipe any userdata. So I could just unlock, root and go on with the same setup. This is not guaranteed though.

Unlocked boot-loader will be required if you need to root the device in future. I always keep both my devices unlocked.
